CASAColumbia is about Health and Treatment

CASAColumbia scientists and researchers in CASAColumbia’s Health and Treatment Research and Analysis Division partner with the National Institutes on Health, states and other experts to test and conduct studies to determine what substance abuse prevention and treatment strategies work best for individuals and save taxpayers money.

CASAColumbia researchers evaluate the efficacy and cost effectiveness of innovative approaches to treatment for vulnerable populations, including Medicaid recipients, the homeless, children and teens, women on welfare and persons with a history of incarceration.
